Question 42
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
Seawater is passed through a column containing a bed of resin beads.
Density of seawater = 1025 kg m
Density of resin beads = 1330 kg m
Diameter of resin beads = 50 μm
Void fraction of the bed at the onset of fluidization = 0.4
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m s
The pressure drop per unit length of the bed at the onset of fluidization is ________ Pa m
